HC Deb 12 February 1963 vol 671 cc150-1W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many Inland Revenue officers are at present working away from home because of under-staffing in certain districts; and if he will set out in detail the allowances to which they are entitled in such circumstances.

Mr. Barber

About 100 Inland Revenue officers are temporarily serving away from their home stations in circumstances entitling them to "detached duty" allowances. The rules governing these allowances are rather complicated and I will write to the hon. Member giving him details.
